Subject: Someone help with thermal paste prob P4 |
Comment: I finished building my system a few weeks ago (P4 1.8A) abit board. Anyway, i bought some antec silver thermal paste 99% micronized silver, and my idle temps are around 45C with case temps at 30C to 32C. CPU is not overclocked at these temps. I have read several reviews that rate the p4 1.8A to idle temp at like 35C when case temps are 30C. When installing, i removed thermal pad that came with heatsink, smoothed it out with goof off, and applied a thin layer to the CPU die spreading it around with with my finger wrapped in Syranwrap. Might i still be using too much? I cant see why else my temps would be so high. Heatsink is firm against board. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Reply: (edit)yea, the fan is spinning at it's specified speed. Is it possible that the MB is not detecting the heat accuratly?
